Fatter lines for range circles etc?

Post by TradeMark »

To me its sometimes very hard to see the range lines, so i suggest they could be more fat.

Now it looks like:

This could be better to see:

Maybe not that fat, but more than one pixel, (as it is now).
When using high resolution, it can be real hard to see the lines...

A good idea, would be nice if it was user configurable as Mael said.

The variable selectedLineWidth in cmdcolors.txt determines this, change it to eg. 4 for a line that's pretty close in thickness to the ones on your screenshot.

someone needs to make a settings program for all those things defined in those .txt files so even noobs might improve their spring experiance.!!

I did. Was working last version not anymore.

I had nice selection lines of 2 width, instead of 1, and a few colour changes. Not anymore, bah. Must try to figure out why they are not working anymore (way way downer the list from other more important stuff).

It's trivial writing such a program; what's not trivial is defining exactly what its allowed to do, and helping the user with it.

Which tags? What do the tags do? Which files? What are their max values? What are their min values? Are their any quirks at certain values? Does acceptable threshold for a value change depending on another value? Etc.
